Abstract

The Fermi surface, i.e. the two-dimensional surface separating occupied and unoccupied states in k-space, is the defining property of a metal. Full information about its shape is mandatory for identifying nesting vectors or for validating band structure calculations. With the angular correlation of positron-electron annihilation radiation (ACAR) it is easy to get projections of the Fermi surface. Nevertheless it is claimed to be inexact compared to more common methods like the determination based on quantum oscillations or angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. In this article we will present a method for reconstructing the Fermi surface from projections with statistically correct data treatment which is able to increase accuracy by introducing different types of regularization.
